I purchased 2 of these and it was VERY tight getting the remote into the cover. Any suggestions how to best remove the remote for battery replacement. You can grab the remote and push to insert but not much to grab onto to get it back out.

Whenever I want to take mine out, I push from the bottom of the remote. Once a little bit of the remote pops out, you can then pull the remote out of the case

MikeS · Answer

I hadn't given it much thought, but it seems to work OK if you force the opening back down by gripping the top sides near the opening and slide it down like an inchworm, just a little at a time.

Ever eat a push pop? Firmly grab with one hand, let's say left hand, then use other hand, right, to push up while using other grip hand to pull down slowly. Should be fine.

The easiest way that I've found to remove it from the remote is to grab the cover around the open end the pull it down and "peel" it off the remote. Similar to removing a sock from tour foot.

It isn't perfect, but the best I've found so far.

I have the same problem. I can get it started by having thumb and index finger holding top corners and pushing the bottom up with other hand. Hopefully we sill not have to change batteries out too often.

I remove the case by placing the remote with the opening of the cover on top, on my leg. Then use your thumb and pointer finger to pull back, and push down on the cover.

I rolled the cover back until I could pull it free

I rolled the edge back and then was able to slide it back about half inch. Then I was able to pull it off easily.

Take it easy. First on the top. And try not in cold environment. I blow a little inside of it. And take away slowly ans patience.

I have had no problem removing the cover, I start by sliding down top of the cover and just keep sliding it down, came off quite easily.

Hold the top of the remote in one hand and then take your fingers and grab the silicone cover. Squeeze the bottom end until enough is out at the top for you to pull out. After the first time of removing it, it is easier to remove remote from cover.

Push it up from the bottom and slide the remote up. Will take a little time but once you get it started it will give,

Hey mwm, 

I encountered this problem as well. I found the best solution was to roll the top part down about 1/4 of the way, then pull the other end and it should come off pretty easy.
